Race #2 Apollo Invite

Nice work on the wax front today. Everyone has now dabbled in the craft of ski preparation. The work and time you put into your skis pays direct dividends to you. I know everyone wants to go when finished waxing their own skis but this is a team activity. When you leave early your fellow peers are forced to clean up your mess. Make an effort to do your part during clean up.

Race Notes:

You will be released from class at 12:20.

Bus departs Tech at 12:35. South pick-up 12:40.

Parents can plan on picking students up at 4:30.

For many of you this will be your first 5km race. Have a goal in mind for yourself. Concentrate on your technique, best line, tucking on the down hills, chasing down the skier in front of you etc...I've seen great improvements in everyone this last week. Have confidence in your ability and have a great race!
